Wily Peralta roughed up by Dodgers
by Jack Moore | CBSSports.com
(3:33 pm ET) Brewers starter Wily Peralta took a beating Wednesday against the Dodgers, as he allowed six runs and didn't make it out of the second inning.

His final line: 1 2/3 innings, seven hits, six runs, four earned, two walks and two strikeouts. Peralta's ERA is up to 6.45 and it's starting to look like the Brewers' top prospect just isn't ready for the show.

Adam Jones at DH again to rest sore legs
by Joe Polito | CBSSports.com
(3:32 pm ET) Orioles outfielder Adam Jones was the team's DH for the second straight game Wednesday against the Yankees. Jones said his legs and whole body hurts, but that is normal, according to The Baltimore Sun.

Jones added he's fine to play center field, but he appreciates manager Buck Showalter being careful with him. Jones is batting .289 (22 for 76) with two home runs, four doubles and 10 RBI in 18 May games.


Ben Revere making contact again
by Al Melchior | Data Analyst
(3:29 pm ET) Though Ben Revere missed most of last week, sitting out while he worked on his swing, it's been a productive May so far for the Phillies' speedster. Revere is batting .390 with three stolen bases so far this month, and more frequent contact has played a role in his improvement. 

Owners won't likely expect Revere to maintain an average much over .300 going forward, and his recent exploits have been fueled by an unsustainably high BABIP. However, he has struck out only four times in 41 at-bats this month, which is more typical for Revere than the 16 percent strikeout-per-at bat rate he put up last month.

Revere is still batting just .260 for the season, as his numbers are weighed down by his poor April. Forget the year-to-date stats and look for Revere to help with batting average, steals and runs in most mixed Rotisserie leagues over the remainder of the season. 


Erick Aybar doesn't miss a game
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(3:28 pm ET) Angels shortstop Erick Aybar made it into the lineup Wednesday against the Mariners as the team's leadoff hitter after leaving Tuesday's game with right knee soreness. Aybar is batting .230 (14 for 61) with six doubles and six RBI in 15 May games.

Jake Odorizzi pushed back to Monday
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(3:23 pm ET) The Rays made a change to their rotation plans Wednesday. They announced Alex Cobb and Jake Odorizzi will swap places, with Cobb starting Sunday against the Yankees and Odorizzi moving back to Monday against the Marlins.

Odorizzi made his season debut Monday against the Blue Jays, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out six.


Alex Cobb moved up to Sunday
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(3:21 pm ET) The Rays made a change to their rotation plans Wednesday. They announced Alex Cobb and Jake Odorizzi will swap places, with Cobb starting Sunday against the Yankees and Odorizzi moving back to Monday against the Marlins.

Cobb won for the second time in May Tuesday against the Blue Jays, allowing one run on three hits and two walks in 6 1/3 innings. Cobb has posted a 3.00 ERA and .207 opponents' batting average in four May starts. He also has struck out 27 batters in 24 innings this month.


Setback for Adam Eaton a major concern
by Scott White | Senior Fantasy Writer
(3:18 pm ET) This is why rehabilitation from a strained UCL is never as straightforward as it seems. A strain is, of course, a minor tear, and a tear in the UCL often leads to Tommy John surgery.

That's not the prognosis for the Diamondbacks' Adam Eaton just yet -- in fact, he's hopeful he can get back to playing in a few days -- but with these latest reports of him feeling something in his elbow, it's what I'm expecting. And as mentioned on the latest Fantasy Baseball Today podcast, it wouldn't be out of left field. On a rehab assignment between the California and Pacific Coast leagues, where he was practically a .400 hitter during his minor-league career, he was struggling .200. Check out the numbers for Kelly Johnson, Mike Aviles, Kyle Blanks and Carl Crawford in the weeks leading up to their Tommy John surgeries. They couldn't buy a hit either.

If I've been stashing Eaton all this time, I'm obviously waiting around for the final word, but I'm also preparing to go without him the rest of the way.


Shane Victorino improving, not ready to play
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(3:14 pm ET) Red Sox manager John Farrell said during a radio interview with WEEI outfielder Shane Victorino is showing improvement with his hamstring injury, but he will be held out a second straight game Wednesday against the White Sox. Victorino is batting .292 (14 for 48) with two doubles, two home runs and two RBI in his last 12 games.

Ian Kinsler aims to be back June 2
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(3:09 pm ET) Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler (intercostal strain), who is eligible to come off the disabled list June 2, said he expects to be activated after a minimum 15-day stay, per MLB.com. However, he hasn't resumed baseball activities as of Wednesday.

Leury Garcia fine 'for now' with utility role
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(3:05 pm ET) Rangers infielder Leury Garcia drew the start at second base Wednesday against the Athletics after Jurickson Profar started two straight games for the injured Ian Kinsler. Manager Ron Washington said it was imperative to keep Garcia engaged because Garcia is expected to remain the team's utility infielder once Kinsler comes off the disabled list, per MLB.com.

"Now the opportunity is here, I have to take advantage of it," Garcia said. "I never thought about being a utility player in the minor leagues. When they asked me to do it, I decided to take my chances and see what happens. For now it's fine."
